As they work to solve the mysteries of battery degradation, reveal the true environmental toll of battery production and disposal, and improve the performance of next-generation batteries, battery researchers are hoping their advances can change the world – and our daily lives – for the better.
Then there might be improved lithium-ion batteries, maybe using silicon anodes or rocksalt cathodes, for mid-range vehicles, or perhaps solid-state lithium batteries will take over that class. Then there might be LiS or even lithium–air cells for high-end cars — or flying taxis. But there’s a lot of work yet to be done.
In February 2023, the company’s dominant position in the electric vehicle (EV) battery market was cemented by a report from SNE Research—a South Korean firm, which highlighted Contemporary Amperex Technology Limited’s (CATL’s) growth to 191.6 GWh produced in 2022. CATL has reigned supreme for a number of years with a market share of 34% in 2022.
The projects aim to enable UK competitiveness across the battery value chain by: For example, a project led by OXLiD Ltd is exploring Lithium-sulfur (Li-S) batteries. These are a promising energy storage technology for applications where high performance, lightweight batteries are needed, like in airplanes.
Lithium-ion batteries keep getting better and cheaper, but researchers are tweaking the technology further to eke out greater performance and lower costs. Some of the motivation comes from the price volatility of battery materials, which could drive companies to change chemistries. “It’s a cost game,” Sekine says.
This discovery could improve the performance and life expectancy of a range of rechargeable batteries. Lithium-ion batteries power everything from smart phones and laptops to electric cars and large-scale energy storage facilities. Batteries lose capacity over time even when they are not in use, and older cellphones run out of power more quickly.
